I was working through my Success Magazine Decade Planning Class this week and it said the reason why most people dont find success is the lack of continued consistency. So pretty much if we look around the world and see very talented people but without success...a lot of times its simply because that person is not working EVERY DAY towards their goal in a measured way. Most of us float in life in all directions.
In a nutshell, it explained that when we have a goal we need to work on it everyday because when we back away from it for a while...we have to start from the bottom all over again.
An example of this for me is last year I lost 37 lbs. So after I had lost a bit, I stopped, however, because of that I did not meet my goal of loosing more weight. This weight loss goal started in Feb 2009, and now its Feb 2010. The cause of this failure? Lack of consistency. That's it! Of course since I know this now I can get back on this goal and just do it!
When I look at everything I am successful at and all I am not...it all boils down to consistency. Basically showing up to your dream everyday HARD!
I also read in a book this week that there are no shortcuts in life. I knew this too, but oddly I feel like I had been trying to find little short cuts or so along my way! I had met people who I thought could put me on and etc. It does not work. Now its one thing for you to be in the right place at the right time and help arrives...but EVEN if that happens--you still gotta work!!!
So what am I doing about the two new rules in my life? Im simply working towards all my goals each day even if its just a 5 min phone call, email, tweet, etc... Just this past week I read a industry book for auditions for like 5 mins---BUT the very bit of knowledge I gained helped me ace an audition I just had.
So moving forward the rest of this year and forever more...daily work towards goals.
I WILL not murder my dreams simply because I did not show up to meet them everyday :)
